Feral Cat Rescue’s cease and desist upheld after extension request The cease and desist order issued to the Feral Cat Rescue is due to be enforced October 10. The Rescue came to Council on Monday night asking for a nine month extension of that date.... This summer, Sharon Morden was offered a free lease for a property in Melancthon by local artist Kimberley Goddard. In subsequent consultations with the Melancthon planner, Chris Jones, it was requested that a presentation be made to Melancthon Council, to explain the operation and to allow councillors to ask questions. It was determined, that a business-specific by-law amendment and re-zoning application would be required to allow the rescue to relocate to the offered cow pasture.
